Extend Voting Hours in Virginia

Due to the extensive traffic in Northern Virginia, many voters were unable to place their votes by the 7:00 pm deadline. Many of us unfortunately have commute times that can extend over 90 minutes and jobs rarely have the 9-5 hours that were once a staple in this country. After noting the deplorably low percentage of people attending the voting booths this November, I believe extending the voting hours from 7pm to 8pm will allow more people to vote and will increase public participation in the democratic process.
